I got a call from the shop, they said the carburetor is busted and had to replace it, it was a cheap fix, but I don't believe the whole carburetor is wrong, maybe it just needed adjustment and they couldn't bother to take the time to fix it, easier and faster to put a brand new one than adjusting the old one. lol, actually easier to adjust but proly more money in charging for new.  just j/k i have no idea what was wrong with your scoot, you back riding now? |

I think we will never know what was wrong with my scoot, I just have their "not so credible" story, I have to pick it up tomorrow |

I think we will never know what was wrong with my scoot, I just have their "not so credible" story, I have to pick it up tomorrow it's possible it was the diaphragm and they didn't have a spare so rather than pulling one off a carb they just charge you for the whole new carb. get your old carb. |

At least I learned what a bad diaphragm feels like, I hate taking my car or scoot to a shop, a honest mechanic is something rare, almost extinct  |

Just as I expected, they put a crappy carb on my scoot, it drives terrible, now I have to go and have a argument with the shop owner to get my old carb back (if they didn't put the thing on another bike already, of course)  damn I hate mechanics!!, I have yet to find an honest and/or competent one, if my scoot wasn't my main mean of transportation right now, I wouldn't have taken the thing to a shop, I would rather do it myself, but at least it is on the road and I'm able to go to work and do errands, driving terrible but driving after all, I took advantage of the situation and ordered a "CVK performance carburetor kit" from Scrappy's, now I just have to wait a couple of weeks until it arrives, I hope this crappy carb can make it till then  |

most shops won't give you back the old parts unless you request. i'd go get it a.s.a.p.

In some states, shops are required by law to give you the old part, but only if you ask for it.
